As part of the H2020 SME project Sitemark has revamped its entire solution architecture into a modular-based solution combined with Innovative AI and ML ops.This SMART architecture allows Sitemark’s customers to deploy their own applications and use cases.
The Sitemark engineering team followed a beachhead strategy.They focused first on the solar vertical which the team understood well and from there used this know-how to springboard into new applications within the vertical and eventually entering new verticals such as Construction, Mining, and performing early trials and POCs into vertical infrastructures such as Bridges,Wind and Telecommunications sector.
The focus on the inspections vertical first allowed Sitemark to build relationships and understanding of the challenges in each aspect of the project and was thus able to build and test solutions across the various aspects of the lifecycle of the asset.This approach allowed customers to get a flavor of the solution through the trials and then deploy the solution into their existing workflows and projects and after completion of trials. Furthermore, the features developed were deployed within the solution in an agnostic way, which allowed customers from other verticals to also test and deploy the solution.Trial projects were completed within the Wind,Telecoms,Road Construction and Quarrying sector. Vertical infrastructures such as Wind Turbines,Telecommunications Towers and Bridges were also inspected during the project. Our solution within the construction vertical was deployed and tested by customers such as Vinci,Frankie and Engie.The Sitemark team focused primarily on Roads and Quarries, as this allowed the team to gain significant insights into the life cycle of such projects and build tools and features into the platform. It enabled the customers to gain valuable insights into their projects and ultimately significant ROI with regard to time saved, improved resource utilization, improvement in precision and accuracy and most important, digitization of their field assets.Thanks to taking the smart entry approach, Sitemark was able to quickly gain significant traction with existing and new customers in the new vertical.It resulted into significant increase in the number of hectares scanned since 2018.
Sitemark has performed various trials across energy, construction and mining industries in over 10 countries.Pilot customers where trials were made public via blog posts or sharing at events included Engie,Vinci,Franki,Eneco,Sonnedix,Bouygues,Orix and Enerparc with whom trials were performed in Chile,Senegal,US,Japan,Belgium,France,Italy and Germany.Results from these events were shared either through social media, webinars or industry events with our partners.
